Baltimore Sun editor Mary J. Corey dies at 49

UPDATE:The Sun’s story on its editor’s death is now online. “Many of [Mary J. Corey’s] initiatives came as The Sun’s owner, Tribune Co., underwent reorganization, emerging from bankruptcy this year,” it says. “In ways large and small, Ms. Corey worked to keep the newsroom focused and forward-looking throughout the process.

“For example, while maintaining a newsroom tradition of speeches and a cake for departing employees, Ms. Corey added a welcoming ‘snack party’ for new hires, who got to pick a favorite treat.”
